The Truth Machine by Geoffrey C Bunn
He examines how the machine emerged as a technology of truth, transporting readers back to the obscure origins of criminology itself, ultimately concluding that the lie detector owes as much to popular culture as it does to factual science.
Any with an interest in criminal justice or general social issues will find this a compelling accountMidwest Book Review To paraphrase Dragnet, there are many histories to tell of the lie detector; this is a good one. -- Ken Adler History of Science Society
Geoffrey C. Bunn is a senior lecturer in psychology at Manchester Metropolitan University and coeditor of Psychology in Britain: Historical Essays and Personal Reflections.
